It's a verb, and that's how Joni uses it in JOTMAS. However, the rest of your analysis is spot on, Shari. And I'm reminded of the line "these things that you and I suppress" from Hejira. I'm sure there are many instance of Joni referring to things seeming one way on the surface, while the reality underneath is very different. I'll ponder this... lots of love, Anne On Aug 21, 2012, Shari Eaton wrote: "Condemned to wires and hammers Strike every chord that you feel That broken trees And elephant ivories conceal" She's using the word conceal in its noun state. The wood of the piano and the keys are on the outside. The wires and hammers are on the inside. The internal emotional workings are concealed by the casing of the piano. Just as our bodies are a concealment for our inner emotional workings. Lots of Joni, Shari ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1169 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
